Denver
I was able to connect with Zhenya, a friend I made while living in Samara, in Denver! It was the perfect place to meet up. It’s mild in the summer and an urban center with a lot to do. Zhenya and I spent many late nights talking and eating (she’s a chef!) in Samara, and…

Grenada
My boyfriend and I decided to spend ten days in Grenada, also known as the Isle of Spice. He had served in the Peace Corps for three years in that country and had not returned to a visit yet. Coincidentally, it’s also an island paradise famous for their nutmeg, sugarcane, rum, carnival, and jabjab celebration.…

Costa Rica

I’ve always written off this place because growing up, I would hear about countless mission trips here. Like, isn’t everyone there…

Brazil
In March 2017, I had the opportunity to visit two cities in Brazil: Florianopolis and Rio de Janiero. I have a great uncle that is a retired ship captain and many second cousins there. My cousins had just opened up a pizza shop. It was the perfect time of year to visit! Santa Catarina is…

Alabama
I’ve been to Alabama twice. It’s funny because people outside of Alabama are like… why? It’s a humid and strangely beautiful place. But I also feel like an outsider the second I step foot there. I don’t feel like I could ever blend in, no matter how hard I try. But I guess another strange…

Texas Coast
I remember when I met my first college roommate, who is from Houston, and stupidly asked her, “Houston has an airport?” I’m pretty sure she alerted the authorities immediately because I knew an embarrassingly small amount about Texas. Houston is one of the largest cities in the United States. Growing up, I thought Houston was…
